The stone huntsman spider genus Eusparassus (Araneae: Sparassidae): systematics and zoogeography with revision of the African and Arabian species Author Moradmand, Majid text Zootaxa 2013 2013-06-17 3675 1 1 108 http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3675.1.1 journal article 110557 10.11646/zootaxa.3675.1.1 253ac560-caad-4129-802d-2094c5cc69de 1175-5326 6422593 7F4D5550-8B85-4694-9482-8A125E9A2650 Cercetius Simon, 1902 The monotypic genus Cercetius was erected by Simon (1902) based on a juvenile specimen. The genus and its type species, C. perezi Simon, 1902 have never been explicitly diagnosed prior to this study. Examination of the type material revealed that Cercetius falls into the synonymy of Eusparassus as defined by Moradmand and Jäger (2012a) . To maintain stability of nomenclature case proposal 3596 was submitted to ICZN to give the widely used name Eusparassus Simon, 1903 priority over Cercetius (for details see Moradmand & Jäger 2012b ). In accordance with Article 82.1 of the Code, the prevailing usage of names is maintained until the ruling of the Commission is published. Therefore, both generic names Eusparassus and Cercetius are used in this paper, and formal synonymization is postponed until final ICZN decision.
